Encore Brewing Company - Cranbrook, British Columbia

Great spot for all! Beer hall meets play zone!

Families are welcome with some restrictions for the younglings. Large tables for groups, lots of activities like style games, bowling, board games and table top games. There is a small patio outside as well.

I popped in here after a recommendation from a server at their partner business, Fire Hall Kitchen & Tap. The beer selection was great. Everything I sampled was enjoyable. There is cold beer to go in the fridge. There are non-alcohol options as well.

It is not a full restaurant, but I was impressed with the menu. There are great options for snacks, individual meals, shares and pizza of course. I had the trio of tacos which were all excellent! Free hot sauces too!

The atmosphere is really inviting. It's a large open space and can get quite loud when full, but there are sound dampening panels to help and one small 'living room' style seating area. The decor is really well thought out. Tables are creatively made from the wood of old bowling lanes, the beer samples are served on halved bowling pins, and even the washrooms got some attention. The space is bright and colourful.

Overall, it far surpassed my expectations. 10/10 would recommend to others.

Anouther awesome time at Encore! So glad we got the opportunity to come try the pizza because it is PHENOMENAL! Probably the best pizza in Cranbrook. We also had a couple strawberry limeade mocktails that we all really enjoyed. The service was fantastic as well! Huge thank you to the owner, Jesse, for the great afternoon. We can't wait to come back!

We spent a few hours at this fantastic spot with our hockey team. We were a group of 50 and it was a seamless and smooth operation and absolutely loads of fun!! The food was outstanding, the staff are super friendly and tasty drinks! Between the bowling and arcade games 22 kids (age 11-19) were entertained and had a blast! Highly recommend for whatever the occasion is that require good food great service and fun!

Good food but very noisy! This was an excellent place to visit, especially if you have kids. They have a few arcade type games and a small bowling alley. You will need socks if you plan to play. You order your food and drinks from the counter and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready. Ordering is very informal and I didn't love it. I felt like the price of the food and drink didn't really reflect in the level of service. That being said the food is really good, I loved the pickle pizza. I have to say that 16$ plus tax for a 10 inch pepperoni pizza was high. 5$ for one roasted chicken taco was also a lot. I had a flight of beer which was pretty good. They had a nice selection of house made hot sauces to try. Kids have to be out by 9pm. They also have cans of beer to purchase.

We had one waitress that was really nice and friendly, and then one behind the bar that was not so great. Make sure to read the daily specials as the person taking your order may not let you know you're missing out on a deal, as happened with us today. The drinks were good and the pizza was as well. The decor is very cool, especially since the tables are made from the old bowling alley lanes.

Food was great, customer service was great as well. Zach our server was amazing and his food recommendations were awesome, he also was right there when we had some bowling trouble and didn’t hesitate to help. If the rest of the staff is like Zach, I highly recommend Encore. 5 stars overall great experience.

We were passing through Cranbrook and decided to try the Encore Brewing Company - we’re sure glad we did. The food, drinks, games, and atmosphere were all excellent! We would have bowled too if we had more time. We were impressed with the quality of the food and the variety of beers in our flight. We will definitely stop here again next time!

What an amazing establishment, delicious pizza, Friendly, And a beautiful, cosmic bowling alley. They have ski ball and that basketball arcade game.

The bartender Spencer was knowledgeable and friendly. I wanted a shot of something wild and tasty and she served me up a pink thing in a sugar frosted shot glass that was absolutely divine
